在过去的二十年里，晶体生长科学经历了爆炸性的发展。主要的驱动力是广泛的自然和工程材料，其理解和优化需要深入了解分子如何合作以建立完美的三维几何对称阵列-我们称之为结晶的奇迹。这些巨大的基础和应用进步之所以成为可能，是因为我们这一代的研究人员站在我们伟大的祖先的肩膀上。亚历克斯·巴托夫是晶体生长巨人中最高的一位。这本《晶体生长杂志》包括40篇献给亚历克斯·巴托夫的论文。研究材料的范围代表了我们这个时代的领域的广度，从蛋白质晶体，生物矿物和其他天然材料，包括冰，通过有机半导体，无机光学元件和药物，一直到沸石和其他用作催化剂和发光器件的硅酸盐。我们选择了涵盖的主题，以反映亚历克斯的广泛利益和影响，他离开晶体生长的所有领域：结晶热力学，成核，生长的分子机制（或基本过程，在切尔诺夫讲话），溶质和杂质运输，改性剂的影响，和团聚。这些论文中采用的方法反映了晶体种植者现在可用的先进方法，并使最近的结果爆炸：直接空间和散射光学和X射线，时间分辨原位扫描探针和共聚焦显微镜，减少航天器和飞机上的重力，由分析理论和全原子，粗粒度和蒙特卡罗模拟支持。
In the last two decades, crystal growth science has experienced explosive expansion. The primary driver has been the vast range of natural and engineered materials whose understanding and optimization require in-depth knowledge of how molecules cooperate to erect perfect three dimensional translationally-symmetric arrays—the miracle that we call crystallization. These huge fundamental and applied advances were possible only because we, the current generation of researchers, stand on the shoulders of our giant forefathers. Alex Chernov is among the tallest of the crystal growth giants.This volume of Journal of Crystal Growth comprises 40 papers dedicated to Alex Chernov. The range of studied materials represents the breadth of the field in our times and stretches from protein crystals, biominerals and other natural materials, including ice, through organic semiconductors, inorganic optical elements and pharmaceuticals, all the way to zeolites and other silicates used as catalysts and light emitting devices. We selected the covered topics to reflect Alex’s broad interests and the impacts that he leaves on all areas of crystal growth: thermodynamics of crystallization, nucleation, molecular mechanisms (or elementary processes, in Chernov-speak) of growth, solute and impurity transport, modifier effects, and agglomeration. The methods employed in these papers mirror the advanced approaches that are now available to crystal growers and enabled the recent blast of results: direct-space and scattering optics and x-rays, time-resolved in situ scanning probe and confocal microscopies, reduced gravity aboard spacecrafts and planes, abetted by analytical theory and all-atom, coarse-grained, and Monte Carlo simulations.
